Abstract

The purpose of this descriptive qualitative study was to describe the transition experiences of liver cancer and cholangiocarcinoma patients after their first experience of invasive percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage. Ten liver cancer and cholangiocarcinoma patients, having received their first invasive percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage, participated in this study with purposive sampling used to select the participants. Data were collected by in-depth interviews and were analyzed using thematic analysis.

The findings of this study consisted of four major themes: 1) emotional distress, including fear of tube disconnection, worry about taking care of oneself, feeling discouraged, and thinking about giving up on life; 2) changes in work life, including being unemployed and lack of income; 3) acceptance of illness, including treatment compliance and practice more self care; and 4) being hopful.

The findings of this study reveal an understanding of the transition experiences of liver cancer and cholangiocarcinoma patients after receiving their first invasive percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage. This can be used as basic information for nurses to prepare patients for a smooth transition through new experiences.
